GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best years of your life are in high school. Some I've experienced have been good and bad. Best parts we're managing football and being able to get opportunities out of it. The worst parts are the drama and everyone talking about everyone. I would like to see several things change but a few are our school spirit and teachers. Our school spirit is almost non existent and we need more involvement. We need to have teachers that actually want to teach kids and like being there instead of having to be there.

While there are a few teaches who do try and treat students fairly, and I do mean few.

Everyone who doesn't have these qualifications are unfortunately cast aside as another hea...

Teachers of the BCCSC are very professional while setting a positive example on all students at the campus. Sports, academics, and fine art is what the 2A school is known and appreciated by the parents, students, and poeple in the community. The campus is down to earth with low rate of peer pressure...
